Furnished room in a 10-person shared flat in Eixample

Eixample is the 19th-century grid laid out by Ildefons Cerdà: long straight streets, chamfered corners and large interior courtyards. It is central, flat and very well connected, with metro lines L1 to L5 crossing it and Passeig de Gràcia station linking to regional trains.

It suits people who want to walk everywhere and be close to work, shops and nightlife. Main avenues such as Aragó, Balmes and Gran Via carry heavy traffic, so a flat facing the inner courtyard is usually quieter than one facing the street.

Barcelona packs ten districts into a compact, walkable city between the sea and Collserola hills. Metro, buses, trams and FGC trains reach almost everywhere within 30 minutes.

Medium-term furnished rentals (1–11 months) are common for people relocating; long-term unfurnished leases follow Spain's tenancy law (LAU). Expect a deposit of one or two months and agency fees paid by the landlord.
